I Got Some More Practice In With My Nokta Fors CoRe

beephead · Jan 23, 2017

I got a couple more permissions today and another one lined up for another day. I started the day off finding nothing but a bunch of wheat pennies (14 of them) and a bunch of clad. With that many wheat pennies I just knew that there had to be at least one silver coin there as well and I wasn't leaving that site until I found one. Finally, I got a Rosie cornered under an ole magnolia tree. I knew it was silver before I even dug.

I headed out to find another site to detect. I saw a truck parked at a rental home and stopped to talk to the guy driving the truck. Come to find out his brother owns the house and he was doing maintenance work on it to get it ready for some new renters. After shooting the breeze for awhile I asked if it would be OK for me to detect the yard. He said sure go ahead. I gave him a key chain light and thanked him. People sure like those lights!

It didn't take me long to unearth a Mercury dime, a Washington quarter and another Rosie. There are corner lots on either side of this lot and I'm going to see if I can catch the owners outside and get permission to detect them. They look like they'd hold some silver. Tired and wore out, I headed for the house.

Great hunt! Anytime a silver coin shows up it sure feels good!

How do you like your fors core? Wondering if you prefer it over others.

Fors CoRe and seven beers ago
our fathers minted forth, on this continent,
a new currency, stamped with Liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that the odds all men lose things is equal.

Now we are engaged in a great personal war,
testing whether that notion,
For any hunt so conceived,
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great open field for that war.
We have come to search a portion of that field,
as a final resting-place for the life savings of those who lost,
that that notion might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

Thanks! I don't know what it is about old magnolia trees, they always give up silver and gold. Damn those roots though.

Thanks! I like to imagine what was going on at a particular site years ago before I even start swinging. I'm getting good at zeroing on hot spots where people lose things.

I don't have a lot of experience under my belt using the Fors CoRe, but as of now I'd pick the F75DST if I could only have one detector. Without getting into a lengthy review comparing the two, I'll say this, it makes a great companion/backup detector to the F75DST. Both detectors have their strengths and I really like both detectors a lot. The unmasking ability of the Fors CoRe will have you scratching your head when it comes to giving good VDI numbers of coins in a bed of nails.

Thanks! Don't get me started keeping count, because I'm competitive even against myself. Last year I took off 5 months from detecting because I burned myself out. This year I'm coasting and I'm going to enjoy the scenery.

Mud

Thanks! The little thingy is a x-ray screen for reading coin dates. I works pretty good on coins down to around 7 inches or so, but it doesn't work worth a flip on coins that are on edge though.

Make sure that you order $50 dollars worth of stuff so you can get the free shipping. The order doesn't have to be just key chains lights, they have great prices on batteries and chargers etc. Also, they almost always have a discount coupon code. If you can't find it call them and ask for it.

These key chain lights are nothing like the really cheaply made key chain lights on eBay. They're well made and people like them a lot.
